RE: CfC: Close ISSUE-59 normative-language-reference extended to 2010-01-07

Larry, I notice that you sent this only to Maciej and to the archive.  I'm 
going to assume that no followup is needed on the TAG side, unless you 
signal to the contrary.  Did you ever hear back on this?  Thanks.

What has become of the "author-only view of the 'main spec'" in the
recent split of the HTML spec into multiple components? Which is
the "main spec"?

Since the spec is now split across multiple documents, where is
the author-only view and who has made the commitment to maintain it
and improve its quality?

There has been no objection by the extended deadline, and the TAG 
seems satisfied with our course of action, while reserving the right 
to raise further objections depending on how things go. Therefore, 
closing this.
